Zero/Thin Client Selector

383 thin clients, zero clients and endpoint operating systems from 35 OEMs — desktop boxes, all-in-ones, mobile thin clients, sticks and software that repurposes existing PCs.

Every specification is taken from the OEM's official website and links to the product page or datasheet it came from; anything the OEM does not publish is marked "to confirm", never assumed.

Set the VDI platform and protocol — Citrix, Omnissa Horizon, Azure Virtual Desktop, Windows 365, Microsoft RDS, Amazon WorkSpaces, HP Anyware and more — and whether you deliver desktops, published apps or Cloud PCs.

Choose thin or zero client, form factor and endpoint OS, monitors and resolution, processor, memory and storage, wired speed, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, 4G/5G, fibre, PoE, USB and serial ports, audio jack and smart-card reader.

Ask for optimised Microsoft Teams, Zoom or Webex, for webcam, microphone, headset, printer and scanner support, and for central management software, TPM and VESA mounting. Use-case presets fill in sensible starting values.

Each model is scored on eleven weighted criteria and ends up Meets, Confirm or Short. Hard mismatches — a platform it does not support, too few displays, the wrong device type — cap the fit.

The best fit overall and the best model from each OEM, with a bill of materials: endpoints and spares, operating system, memory, monitors, peripherals, options to order, management licences and switch ports.

Compare up to six models side by side, criterion by criterion and spec by spec, with the best value in every row highlighted and a recommended winner.

A logical design and an implementation design are drawn for the chosen model — users, endpoint, network, gateway, broker and desktops, then which plug goes in which port, the network path, the quantities and the rollout steps.

Exports are real Office files — a Word design document, a PowerPoint deck with editable tables, and an Excel workbook with the ranking and the full catalogue — each with both diagrams embedded.
